Exactly. I assume if one of the smaller providers like Linode found an internal vulnerability that they thought was a big security risk to have widely know and had 3 giant customers and a large number of smaller customers, they’d work directly with the giant customers in advance in the same way.

I was a Linode customer back when there was a security incident where everyone found out on Reddit before the company bothered to tell anyone. And then once news did come out they never said (a) what happened or (b) what steps were taken to prevent it happening again.

I am very reluctant now to trust the little guys with anything remotely mission critical.

I am resisting the urge to make a Linode and ColdFusion joke.
